In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
We're doing an intensive water quality look in Hominy Creek. For three weeks, we'll be taking samples specifically looking at bacteria pollution in Hominy Creek.
Our region’s rivers were heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene, and with breweries playing a key role in our tourism economy, MountainTrue, the French Broad Riverkeeper, and Wedge Brewing are teaming up to help restore our waterways.
Join us on August 9th for a river cleanup! We'll head out for an on-the-water cleanup, then return to the brewery to celebrate with beer and prizes.

Join Jewish disaster relief organization, NECHAMA, and MountainTrue for a river clean-up and celebration of Reverse Tashlich. Reverse Tashlich, an initiative by Repair the Sea, invites communities to take hands-on, meaningful action during the High Holidays by cleaning up our waterways. Clean-up will focus on Hurricane Helene Debris and will be land-based.
Participants can expect to learn about NECHAMA and take part in a short ritual to honor Reverse Tashlich during the clean-up.
2025 is flying by, and we are rapidly approaching one year since Hurricane Helene—but we’re still here and stronger than ever. We searched our hearts for the right way to mark this anniversary—and in the end, we knew what mattered most: being together and honoring the people that have done the hard work to get us here (YOU!). This event will be our Annual Member Gathering, Volunteer Appreciation, and community celebration rolled into one special event!
We hope you will join us as we recognize this milestone with an inspiring celebration of the people, the progress, and the power of community.
